2024’s Hottest Halloween Costumes: What’s Trending Now

Inside Out/ Disney +

October first marks the start of the highly anticipated Halloween season. Things are heating up with the costume choices inspired by some of our favorites. Check out the list of the top ten costumes for this Halloween:

1. Harley Quinn

Longtime fan favorite Harley Quinn endures to dominate the Halloween scene with her edgy, colorful, and wacky style. Harley Quinn’s fashion choices made quite the impression from her movies Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey, with her blue and red hair and checkered jumpsuits. Harley Quinn will always make a lasting impact every Halloween with her funky style.

2. Dallas Cowboy’s Cheerleader

This costume will be classic for women on Halloween because it combines a sporty, fun look while allowing women to be glitzy, glamorous, and sexy. 

3. Barbie & Ken

Following the success of the movie Barbie released last year, couples everywhere come together to show off their vibrant pink retro outfits without, of course, the iconic tye-dye “I am Kenough” sweatshirt. Couples will conquer the Halloween scene with their fun and pinkalicious costumes, ready to make the dreamhouse come to life.

4. Deadpool

The anti-hero of Deadpool, portrayed by Ryan Reynolds, persists in being a dominant choice for people interested in flaunting a red suit with a hint of a cheeky attitude. Deadpool will always be a humorous costume choice for anyone wanting to show off their witty side.

5. Wednesday

Gothic with two pigtails, this is going to be the signature style of the kooky daughter of the Adams family, Wednesday Addams. Since its resurgence from more than two years ago with Netflix’s Wednesday, it remained in the topmost favorite among Tim Burton fans.

6. Inside Out 2

After the sequel to Inside Out has been launched, the most famous characters Joy and Sadness return to the scene, but also some of the newest ones – Anxiety, Embarrassment, and Envy – allowing people of all ages to enjoy playful, colorful options.

7. Beetlejuice

Beetlejuice has always been one of the timeless favorites; the black and white striped suit paired with the ghostly makeup has been one of the most recognizable costumes from the older generation to the younger generation.

8. Scary Movie Icons

Dress up as your favorite character(s) from those old-time horror movie favorites to put some terror into the night, like Michael Myers from Halloween, Freddy Kreuger from Nightmare on Elm Street, and Ghostface from Scream.

9. Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour

To all the Swifties out there, if you can’t get enough of Taylor Swift, then why not dress up in some of her most iconic outfits from the Eras Tour? The choices range from the sparkly jumpsuit from the “Lover” era to “Folklore” vintage vibes. Either way, the possibilities are endless when it comes to Swift’s infinite style.

10. Angel & Devil

If you and your BFF are looking for that best friend costume that is different from the norm, but still a classic, the Angel and Devil costume is perfect. It shows off opposite personalities, the yin to your yang.

Costumes can be purchased in-store or online at Party City.
